Pimp C - Grippin’ On The Wood
Artist: Pimp C
Featuring: Bun B , Big K.R.I.T
Producer: Pimp C
Album: Still Pimpin
Label: Rap-A-Lot/Double Dose Ent./II Trill Enterprises/Fontana
The Naked Soul of Sweet Jones was the final project conceived in Chad Lamont Butler’s lifetime, but nobody familiar with rap history should be surprised to find the UGK legend Still Pimpin’, nearly four years after his tragic passing. Sure enough, the lead single off Pimp C‘s second true solo album finds him living it up like he never left, Grippin’ on the Wood in his tricked-out automobile. Over his own sweltering, Southern-fried street boardwork, the Houston icon is joined by his former partner-in-rhyme—after the headliner invites a few fly females into his ride on the opening verse, Bun B grabs the mic for a little of his trademark stunting: “I be wood wheel steerin’ and vogue tire turnin’, and big money earnin’ like I come from Mt. Vernon.” Meridian, Mississippi fast-riser Big K.R.I.T. does his forebears proud on the back, flaunting his own candy-painted slab in a fresh closing 16. Like what you’re hearing? More previously-unreleased material from the late, great Pimp C awaits on Still Pimpin, due out July 12 via Rap-A-Lot/Fontana.

Remember all those "Big K.R.I.T. would have sounded amazing rapping alongside UGK!" statements that were made last year when he dropped his UGK-homage mixtape (of the year) "K.R.I.T. Wuz Here"? Yeah, technology and respect made that a possibility. Dope.

great concept and it has that classic UGK sound but for some reason Pimp C's hook sounded a little off in comparison to the rest of the record. Is it me or does hearing KRIT against Pimp confirm the baton was passed to him by default?

KRIT definately earned his keep on this track. I always said I wanted to hear him with Pimp C and Bun B.
Good look |

awww man this is nothing what i expected from (in my opinion) two of the dopest mc's coming from the south and the dopest mc (big krit) thats coming from the south in a while. im not sure if its the beat that's not grabbing me or what but this track is just okay the only reason why i gave it two stars because im a fan other wise this is very close to being garbage(dam and im such a fan too)
